Amoeba | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Bat | poor visual acuity, none of them is blind. It has even been discovered that some species are able to detect ultraviolet light.[1] | Bat calls range from about 12,000 Hz - 160,000 Hz. | n/a | They also have a high quality sense of smell. | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Dog | Dogs are dichromat and less sensitive to differences in grey shades than humans and also can detect brightness at about half the accuracy of humans.[2] | The frequency range of dog hearing is approximately 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz, which means that dogs can detect sounds far beyond the upper limit of the human auditory spectrum.[3] | n/a | may be up to 100 million times greater than a human. | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Human | red~650 nm to violet ~400 nm (or) VIBGYOR | 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (or) Audio | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Dolphin | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Shark | n/a | n/a | n/a | with some species able to detect as little as one part per million of blood in seawater.[4] | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
Blue whale | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a |
